BARRY GIBB IN CONCERT:
As a founding member of the Bee Gees, Barry Gibb is responsible for some of the most beloved and iconic songs of the 20th century, sharing a songwriting record with none other than John Lennon and Paul McCartney for having six consecutive No. 1's on the Billboard Hot 100. Gibb's distinctive R&B falsetto — virtually synonymous with the '70s — is as impressive today as it was 40 years ago, eliciting collective swoons from fans during performances of disco hits like "Night Fever" and "How Deep Is Your Love" at his 2013 concerts. Gibbs may be the only surviving Bee Gee, but he more than holds his own as a solo performer, carrying on the band's legacy with another eagerly awaited string of concerts on the Mythology Tour in 2014.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born on the Isle of Man in Britain, brother's Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibbs founded the Bee Gees after their family relocated to Australia in 1958. Featuring intricate vocal harmonies, the band's early sound closely resembled the '60s-era rock popularized by the Beatles, earning them a string of international hits in the swinging decade including "To Love Somebody" and "Massachusetts." It was the band's turn to disco in the mid-'70s, however, that brought them their biggest success — their contributions to the Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack propelled the album to No. 1 in the UK and US, ringing in the heyday of disco and landing them an impressive five simultaneous Top 10 singles in the US — a chart dominance that hadn't been seen since the Beatles' mid-'60s run.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"The Barry Gibb solo concert was awesome. I think he did a fantastic job on his own without his fellow Bee Gees... Barry can do a show solo and deliver. It was very enjoyable, he sounds great, and can still hit those high notes."
"Barry looked and sounded TERRIFIC! He hasn't changed a bit. His voice sounded better in concert than any record I could remember. The song list was beautiful, and I really enjoyed some of his earlier recordings."
"Wow — we were blown away by how amazing the voice of Barry continues to be. He really touched our hearts with his reaction to the crowd. Rarely do you see an entertainer display such humility while performing, but Barry was the exception."
I have seen the Bee Gee's 26 times since thier begining, Barry really brought an EXCELLENT show to our and his hometown in South Florida, I enjoyed hearing barry and maurices daughter sing a duet, and barry's son Steven perform and accompany him throughout the night, our prayers go out to theGibb family for Robin during these trying times with his illness, god bless him.
BARRY GIBB IS BETTER THAN EVER WHAT A GREAT SHOW HE BUT ON AND LOVED HOW HE SHOWED HIS PERSONAL SIDE. LOVED SEEING HIM WITH FAMILY. BEEN A BEE GEE FAN SINCE THE BEGINNING. ALWAYS LOVED BARRY THE BEST. WHAT A TALENT. HOPE HE DOES MORE SHOWS AND LOOK FORWARD TO NEW MATERIAL FROM HIM.
To me watching Barry Gibb Live at The Hard Rock was an unforgettable experience. I almost didn't even attend, because I never knew the concert even existed. I bought the tickets about a week ago and that was only because my boyfriend spotted the billboard and told me about it and I jumped on the opportunity to purchase the tickets. I hadn't seen any advertisements of the upcoming concert, so I am very grateful to my boyfriend for having spotted the billboard for the concert. Growing up, I was brought up with the influence of the Bee Gees because of my parents love for the music. My parents while they were alive never had the opportunity to experience the Bee Gees Live and the fact that I was able to experience Barry Gibb perform some of the many hits I have grown to love throughout the years, feels like I paid tribute to my parents by experiencing the concert for them. My father did meet Barry Gibb here in Miami many years ago and even went on a fishing trip with him and several others once. One of my dreams as a teenager was to have the Bee Gees perform at my wedding because of how much I love them and their music. I felt that Barry Gibb gave a tremendous performance, sounded amazing and incorporated his family into the concert; it touched me! I was excited from the beginning until the end of the concert. The moment my emotions got the better of me was when he started to sing "Words." The tears started to flow and for 2 more songs afterwards, the tears just kept coming down. Truly an amazing experience and thus far, the most emotionally connected concert I have experienced. Will never forget it.
amazing! not only will the music survive, but the family legacy was presented. I loved that he mixed very old with what we know and some new and different. Steve Gibb and Sammy are very different but may be as equally brillant! I loved the whole family, and community thing. He is an extremely gifted performer. I was surprised how stong his voice is at his age. I do have one recommendation. As Stayin alive is such a vocally demanding song, he should sing it first. it would go every night, if I could
it was too short the time on his performance. he missed too many songs he should be singing at this time
It was fantastic to see Barry Gibb perform. Would have liked it to be longer with more music. We felt like we were a part of history - his first solo concert. Video screens were too small. All in all it was momentous!
BARRY WAS AWESOME HIS VOICE WAS AS GOOD AS EVER STILL GOOD LOOKING THE BAND WAS GREAT HIS BACK UPS WERE GREAT WE CAN'T WAIT TILL THE NEXT CONCERT
Barry Gibb has still got it! He was amazingly good, as was his band. Having his superbly talented son and niece performing with him was the icing on the cake.
Barry Gibb put on a fantastic show. He was amazing.
Excellent show, sounded great. He still got it. Miss his brothers. Saw all of them in 2000
I am from the uk and have enjoyed the bee gees music for many years and didn't know what to expect so was pleased to say the least with the show he still has his mojo. Played the right songs and the time went so quick but would go again. The age group worried me a little but I guess I must be getting old and when I listen to bee gees music in the uk we think of Miami and south beach. The only thing missing was the selling of CDs etc Only a grey T shirt for 25 dollars with the date on etc but wld have been nice to see some more Very much a family affair and singing broken heart was moving and done with taste Well done to all involved
Fantastic....Barry was incredible.....The Bee Gees were on my bucket list, so I feel so fortunate that I had the opportunity to see Barry. What a special treat. The band was fabulous. His son Steven and niece were great, as well as his duet with Ms. Cohen. His music is timeless and extraordinary. My prayers go out to Barry and his family for Robin's speedy recovery.
I recommend anyone who was a fan of the bee gees music over the years see Barry Gibb. He was vibrant and voice was amazing. His son stephen joined the stage and sang a Maurice Gibb song called "on time". He brought the crowd to their feet with many standing ovations. He ended the show with stayin alive and left everyone dancing!! Awesome experience and unforgettable.
Let me start by saying, I have never written a review, but after seeing this show, thought I'd give it a try, so please be patient with me. This was billed as Barry Gibb's First Solo US Concert - I had seen the Bee Gees perform several times throughout the years as a group and wondered how it would be with Barry solo. It was evident that Barry is in his element when on stage - the show was absolutely awesome. The song selection was spot-on, the hits were there, but so were a few deep album cuts, as well as songs that were written and produced for other artists. Barry brought back-up singer Beth Cohen to the front for Islands in the Stream and Guilty, wonderful renditions of both songs. Barry's voice is still strong, so good to hear ~~ most of the hits were there -- Words, one of my favorites was so great, How Can You Mend A Broken Heart, More Than A Woman -- so many I can't list them all. A FEW of the MANY highlights: Fever - an older song by another artist, I know I've heard it before, but not sure who sang it - but that song was intertwined with Stayin' Alive - it was really cool how he did that, the style was kind of like a blues song - really enjoyed it. Immortality - a song dedicated to his brothers - the closing line says it all "we don't say goodbye...." I don't think there was a dry eye in the house - mine certainly weren't. Samantha Gibb (daughter of Maurice Gibb), came to the stage for an excerpt of "End Of The World" which was wonderful, really want to hear a full version of this song from -- her voice was so clear and beautiful, such incredible tone to it -- this is someone that we should be hearing quite a bit from in the future - someone please sign this girl, she was great! She then joined Barry for a flawless duet of "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart". To continue with the family affair, Barry's son Stephen (guitar player in Barry's Band) - took the mic for an older Bee Gees song - "On Time" - excellent rockin' version of the song - both vocally and on guitar. Overall this concert was FANTASTIC, the crowd certainly agreed as there were several standing ovations - people were dancing in the aisles, as well as their seats. At one point I saw two girls down front in front of the stage dancing, security tried to remove them, but I think security gave up and let them be. It really was a fun show and I'm so glad that I went, I would definitely go again, if there was ever another show.
I'm so happy that I got to be a part of seeing Barry Gibb's emotional performance. I was lucky to be able to witness him singing a duet with his niece, Maurice's daughter and his eldest son. Hopefully he will perform again; I would definitely see him a second time!
music quality, voice quality, great performance, and a lot of good memories....THANKS !
This concert was absolutely incredible. I loved every minute of it. Barry's voice hasn't changed. It is as wonderful as it was years ago. The sound system was clear and precise. You could hear every word that was sung, the bands instruments were clean and clear sounding. He sang his songs beautifully and his niece, Maurices's daughter sang How Do You Mend a Broken Heart with him which was beautiful. His son sang a song and is an excellent guitar player. It was the most wonderful evening. The concert was fun and sad at the same time. When he sang the Disco songs everyone was dancing, when he talked about his brothers and sang a beautifully written song about them, the audience cried. Will never forget this concert. I left feeling good about life!
We saw Barry Gibb's solo performance and it was wonderful!! His voice is the same as always. He had a great backup band which included his son who played a fantastic song written by Maurice. Barry spoke lovingly of his family and reminised about old times. He honored his brothers with several songs which brought tears to our eyes, including Barrys. There were people there of all ages. It was fantastic!!
Fantastic. He put on a really outstanding, professional show, but I would expect nothing less from him. I enjoyed the family touches, and he was personable with the audiance. I would see him again any time. His voice got stronger with each song as he relaxed into the show. I took my older sister who is visiting from Canada and we both left saying we were going to buy a remastered CD of the Bee Gee hits.
The man still rocks... one of the last musicians of our time!
